Was that the first time Chris Carr did television announcing for a race?

He did a very good job of explaining details and pointing out what the riders were doing without oversimplifying. He comments were relevant, concise and interesting and he never stammered or left dead air. Commentary on a live race is a pretty difficult task. Ask anyone who has tried it. Leigh Diffey was great as always.

Thanks for the cool pic. My wife and I were sitting just to the right of the first white pillar on the second level. Same seats every year. The mile is just around the corner on Memorial Day weekend on Sunday. Best racing anywhere.

Also the TT is Saturday night before. Sadly it seems the short track and TT are no longer part of the program after 2012. IMDA is losing $$.
